Which PSU to keep?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I'm building a rig for my brother from old parts & I can spare one of the 2 PSUs I currently own:
Corsair GS600 (almost new single rail) or
Zalman ZM750-HP (FSP 2 years old semi-modular multi-rail) ...I would like to keep the better one for myself since he's not paying a dime.
Zalman review: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Zalman-ZM750-HP-Power-Supply-Review/661/10

Both got good reviews but the Zalman was almost twice the price I paid for the Corsair, which one should I keep? I'll be using it in a SB rig with a 580GTX card. I know both can handle it, but I would like the better of the two to stay with me......

Thx OCN


EDIT: please don't debate the 'Single vs Multi Rail design', you can do that in this thread:

I've got a few Zalman PSUs and none of them have missed a beat.

I can't see any time soon that I "retire" my ZM1000-HP... and that's a massive overkill for me and probably most.

Cheers,

Thx for the reply, So I guess you recommend the Zalman over the Corsair for me to keep?

I've never had a Corsair... so recommending one over the other would be based purely off the fact that I'm very happy with my lower end Zalmans and my HP one.

Hoping someone who has had both comes along....

Decided to keep the Zalman. +rep Del Boy and thanks for the reply.

I'm pretty sure some of the Zalmans I've got are almost 10 years old... yikes... not a fashionable brand for a PSU but one I wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

Hope all goes well with both builds.
